Meet the Artist
Lauren Herzak-Bauman
Trained as a sculptor and educator, I unknowingly embarked on a journey into pottery when I moved back to Cleveland in 2013. Beyond pottery, my work extends to sculptures that adorn public spaces and private collections alike. My art practice also includes custom sculpture commissions, tailoring unique pieces to resonate with clients across the country. Each piece, whether a mug or sculpture, embodies my philosophy of perfectly imperfect, a belief that celebrates the subtle nuances of texture, the marks of the hand, and the unique character that emerges from the very process of creation.
Let customers speak for us
I love how substantial Lauren's pieces are. They are so well made, and the colors are spot on. I purchased this online, and everything was described perfectly! I am an artist and I use Lauren's work in my jewelry display when I do art fairs, and in my home, and I always get so many compliments on them!
This mug absolutely slaps! I mean, it's a real friggin' banger! I got it for my wife as an Christmas gift and she totally hardcore POUNDS coffee from it everyday. She's got severe coffee jitters from loving this mug so much, I'm talking gallons of coffee in her system at any given moment. But she definitely white-knuckles her grip on it so as to not drop it. The coalescence of beauty, function, and that extra dynamite from it being handcrafted takes her to fucking Mars and back on the daily. It's the bomb.dot.com. She'd told me if she had a choice between our children and this mug, she'd choose mug 100% of the time. Like if she was dangling from a cliff with the mug in one hand and holding onto a tree root with the other, she'd cradle the mug to her demise before letting go of it to save herself. If the apocalypse came and we had seconds to say our goodbyes, she'd run for mug and be sipping it through annihilation. She insists I talk to mug, and cradle mug. So I tell mug about how the workday went, about my innermost fears, about all of my existential crisis. And mug just holds onto that nonsense like Fort Knox. Mug swallows the key for you, mug goes the extra mile. Mug is everything and nothing all at once. We think mug is just great.
Even more beautiful in-person! A gift for my brother, who has incredible houseplants. He loved it!
Love the vase, even better in person than the picture on the website...I love the "dripping " glaze.
